Sponsor: Nutricia Research
Summary
The HEXCARE-PDAC study is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, controlled, multicenter trial evaluating the effectiveness of a cancer-specific oral nutritional supplement in preserving skeletal muscle mass and improving chemotherapy tolerance in adults with non-metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) receiving neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX-based chemotherapy. The study aims to determine whether targeted nutritional intervention can mitigate cancer-associated muscle loss and improve treatment delivery and clinical outcomes in patients with PDAC
